Sunday at 21:232 days Author Also, some of you suggested Love Thing as the final single from Spice but I never really saw it as a single because it sounds like the brainchild between Wannabe and Say You'll Be There...In a way, it was already threaded territory whereas the previous singles all sounded more different from each other. I know it was rumoured to be the prefered single from Virgin but by the time they had released 4 singles, it was a type of sound that was best to keep in the album, imo...I also think that Step To Me is another song that threads similar ground to Wannabe, Say You'll Be There and Love Thing, so in a way it made sense not to have it in the album. Even Say You'll Be There had initially a rap section which I am glad it was removed, as it would have made the whole Spice-sound very formulaic - pop anthems with r'n'b sounds about female empowerment, each girl gets a verse and the bridge is a rap led by Mel B. It would have been too much imo, so I am glad they changed things up a bit. (although I do think it could have been a single or at least an album track for Spiceworld).It is kind of like the Tomorrow of Free Me, for me. It sounds like Maybe and I'll Be There combined. A great album track but threading too similar territory to stand on its own. So it made sense for her to perform it on TV shows to further point towards the album, but as a single, it would have faltered and she needed to change it up...
